The doctor named foods after which it is better to wait before drinking tea or coffee.

American nutritionist Deborah Grayson shared a comment on this topic.

The doctor does not recommend drinking coffee or tea with red meat and green leafy vegetables, writes the Daily Mail .

The reason is that these drinks impair the absorption of iron, a mineral that is extremely important for the circulation of oxygen throughout the body.

The problem may get worse if your iron levels are already below normal.

This is fraught with the development of anemia, which is characterized by fatigue, weakness, constant drowsiness, and hair loss.

Beef, lamb, pork, cabbage, spinach contain a lot of iron. But polyphenols, which are found in tea and coffee, reduce the benefits of this food.

The nutritionist added that the situation is similar with wine. This drink also contains substances that block the absorption of iron. Therefore, she advises against the combination of steak and wine.

It is better to prepare coffee or tea at least an hour after eating red meat or greens.
